View of Medical and Social Employees to the Topic of Restrictive Precautions into Residence Social Facilities

This bachelor thesis elaborates the theme of ?The Health and Social Service Employees´ Views of the Problems Concerning the Restrictive Measures Imposed Upon Social Facilities Providing Accommodation?. Restrictive measures can be defined as a means used to restrict movement of the social services users. These measures can be applied only to the situations defined by Act No. 108/2009 Sb.*, on Social Services. This act stipulates even the precise procedure for the process of applying these restrictive measures. The theoretical part of this bachelor thesis is focused on the characteristics of the social facilities providing accommodation, their users and employees, on determining the restrictive measures including the related duties of social service providers, as well as characteristic features of the dementia syndrome, since the person living with this syndrome are a target group of users of the social facility providing accommodation in which this research has been carried out. The main aim of the practical part of the thesis was to find out what opinion the employees carrying out professional activities had on the restrictive measures imposed upon the Čížkovice Pensioners´ Home, which serves as an example of such social facility. The strategy of qualitative research has been applied to the implementation of the research, in particular the enquiry method and the technique of the half-structured interview. Afterwards the main research question was formulated. For answering this question three partial research questions had to be determined. They were focused on the degree of social employees´ knowledge of these restrictive measures, on the care for persons with the dementia syndrome and on the employees´ reaction to problematic behaviour of these persons. This bachelor thesis will be made use of as a feedback for the above mentioned employees, i.e. those carrying out professional activities in the Čížkovice Pensioners´ Home, where the research has been carried out
